520			_aUnique in its coverage of all aspects of modern particle physics, this textbook provides a clear connection between the theory and recent experimental results, including the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN. It provides a comprehensive and self-contained description of the Standard Model of particle physics suitable for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students studying experimental particle physics. Physical theory is introduced in a straightforward manner with full mathematical derivations throughout. Fully-worked examples enable students to link the mathematical theory to results from modern particle physics experiments. End-of-chapter exercises, graded by difficulty, provide students with a deeper understanding of the subject. Online resources available at www.cambridge.org/MPP feature password-protected fully-worked solutions to problems for instructors, numerical solutions and hints to the problems for students and PowerPoint slides and JPEGs of figures from the book. The first textbook to include data from CERN on the discovery of the Higgs boson, giving students the complete picture of the Standard Model of particle physics Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage integrates real recent experimental data to convey the excitement of this vibrant field to upper undergraduates and graduates Concepts are introduced in a straightforward manner with complete mathematical derivations given, allowing students of a wide range of abilities to follow its development. https://www.cambridge.org/ng/universitypress/subjects/physics/particle-physics-and-nuclear-physics/modern-particle-physics
